We Hate Spam!

We have recently instituted a system of spam control that helps keep the McHenry County Blog a lean, mean information machine. A side product of this process is that in certain cases you might be blocked or challenged to prove that you aren't a robot in order to comment on articles.

If for some reason the automated processes that are in place to prove that you are a human do not work, or if you have any other technical problems with the blog, please email techguy at any time for speedy resolution.

“Defendant Barber (sic) sent a letter explaining these events to the removed precinct committee members (attached hereto as Exhibit A).

October 17, 2017, letter to Precinct Committeemen from Democratic Party Chairman Mike Bissett.

“Many removed precinct committee members were reinstated following the vote and the appointment of a new District 1 Chairman.

“Plaintiff Barber[‘s husband?] was not reinstated.”

The suit then moves on to an audit commissioned by Barber’s company, Heroic Media.

“In October 2017, the Plaintiffs voluntarily hired independent auditors to review Heroic Media including its volunteer work for candidates.

“The independent auditors concluded that Heroic Media properly and ethically conducted its business and volunteer work for candidates.

“On October 5, 2017, the Plaintiffs sent a letter to Defendant Bisset and Defendant Zahorik advising that the statements made by board members and others were untrue, advising them of the findings of the independent auditor, and advising them that the false statements damaged for whom they
volunteered (attached hereto as Exhibit B).”

Audit letter about Heroic Media addressed to top two officers of the McHenry County Democratic Party.

If Mr. Barber “admitted” that Mrs. Barber used confidential information to “publicly and falsely attack” the party, but her affidavit states (per your Part 3) that wasn’t true… who is telling the truth there?

Well would you look at that. Some Gasser haters do believe an independent audit is worth while, when it suits their needs. Karma comes to mind. It was just a matter of time before the hate boomeranged right back at them.

Angel, the whisper is your boyfriend blowing in your ear. Yes he wants you to lean forward, “it’s” coming. It is stoppable but you don’t want him to stop. Bernie is gonna pull a train later. Meow meow liberal pussy.

Yours truly was not reinstated perhaps because of different reason(s); maybe one that John Creighton had no telephone with which to contact or be contacted regarding why he seemed to disappear for a period of at least two years, during which time he felt or thought he might die and not a soul would realise it till some fellow tenant smelled the stench of rotting human flesh coming from the cold stone slab flat in Algonquin’s eddy of a neighbourhood tucked away in the lee of one of the Potowatomi Mounds, a hill overlooking US Route 31 and 62, where formerly Simonini’s Inn and Grill sat, on the present site of the Shell and Circle K.

I was not aware of it till I felt recuperated enough to go the local library and check online.

For a while, it was painful to even walk to the bathroom in my apartment, let alone trudge over the bridge on the Fox and uphill east to the local branch of our public library.

What’s my point?

Just looking back to get some perspective on local party history.

Are there some sour grapes?

Honestly, yes.

I felt I put a lot of energy and time into the party and for what?

To become part of some purge a la Josef Stalin?

Is this the party of the People, all the People, and for what do we stand?

For Democratic principles or for some people to grab power, money, and prestige where they can?

I think democratic principles were sacrificed somewhere along the way, though I am still piecing together the parts of the puzzle.
